Little tip is that if you put a good amount of salt on some fillets of perch and put some paper towels under and over, let them sit for 4-24 hours and they should be less mushy and more flakey
This is one of the only videos of yours I haven't watched I had to scroll way down to find this one. I think it was awesome when you did this video with your friend his facial expressions were priceless.
One day it’ll be nice to do a meet and greet and maybe we all do some surf perch fishing out that way. Plenty room out there. It’s why I like perch fishing. Gets you away from the crowded river banks during peak season.
You're 100% right, Salmon season is fun to harvest, but the crowds get old. Hard to find secluded spots. Definitely gonna do an event out there this year 🔥
@@NWFishingSecrets yes, A meet and greet with you would be Awesome!!! I might be twice your age , but you and me are like brothers. I love the outdoors and fishing!! When I was younger I use to take friends and neighborhood kids fishing. Just to get them out and away from the tv.. much respect to you!! Definitely let’s hook up a meet and greet this year!! We would all love to say hello and thanks!!
The perfect surf perch setup! Use that setup every time I hit Westport! I usually go on outgoing tide. Oh and never turn your back on the ocean or else she’ll get ya!
LOL she'll get ya good! Brian could tell you all about that 🤣 Was my first time, so I'm glad I had Brian there to tell me about this setup. Sounds like it's the right one! 🎣
Life, thanks for the motivation Im looking forward to watching more of ur videos. Also what location we're u at? Tidal Roots, is anywhere on Westport shore good fishing spots?
@@freddyraymendiola2988 hmmmm it’s hard to say cause the fish move along the coast and if your hot in one spot the next day it could be dead. I would just go during low tide and look for troughs to see where fish would hang out during high tide or incoming tide. That’s really the best advice. Sorry if it’s vague. Good luck!
Another awesome video!!! I've been still chasing the coho with bobber and eggs as the run comes to an end. Got a PB buck coho! 14.3 pounds! Can't thank you enough for all the help with your videos! Not only do you make them fun to watch, they are very informational! Fish on baby!!!
14.3lbs?!? That's a HAWWWG!! Love hearing that, man... These videos are a blast to make for you all, and I'm so glad you enjoy them being fun besides just informational. See you for dem Razor Clams next week!!! FISH ON BABY!!! 🎣 😆
Yes bro!!!! Your videos are hanging! Just lovely wholesomeness. You really have a high respect for food which I think is something common in our respective cultures. I’m Filipino American and we don’t like wasting food either. However, what counts is you went out there this day of the video and you tried something. Not a complete lost either man! I mean you got the fish on point. It was just sad to see the disappointment but that’s natural. I most likely would have felt the same and show the same expression too. However, I think your level of care shows in these videos man. We saw you respecting wild life and I also strongly believe exceeds the disappointment in the outcome of the cornbread. Keep pushin man!
Love how realistic the video is, sometimes catch and cooks can work out well (Perch) and sometimes not so much (hush puppies) like the cut where it goes to you editing lol 17:25
LOL thank you man. Glad you can appreciate my humor and no craps given about letting you guys know when stuff goes wrong! Those hushpuppies are my biggest culinary fail of 2019 😂 The fish was good though! 🤙 Thank you for enjoying, as always! 🎣
@@NWFishingSecrets I'm going backpacking on the coast next week so I'm re-watching all your perch videos. Will be my first time fishing the coast. Super excited! Very much appreciate all the work you put into these
Love surf perch! Interesting fish, they are a live birther. I've caught them on kastmasters near the mouth of the Klamath in California (State of Jefferson lol)
I’ve been following you about 1 year, watched almost all videos. In Turkey we use corn or wheat flour when frying white meat fishes, they make fishes crispy and get less oil inside.
Hey Lief, raised my family and grew up in So Cal. Fished all the beaches and piers, surf perch nuggets flash fried coated with Dixie Fry and some tartarer sauce, doesnt get any better than that, ummm...
I think you can find in market clarified butter, it doesn't burns brown black since milk lefts like water and solids are appcend!! Or you do it before going fishing, melting the butter in a pot over low heat, let simmer for 10' - 15',turn of the heat, let it sit few minutes and collect the cleared butter!! Happy new year!!
Looks fun, I like the rain. I did a similar fluke fry here in New Jersey. I breaded with flour, then dip in egg, then breadcrumbs, and I fried the fish with potatoes in oil on the grill. Broccoli on the side, Fish and Chips!
Damn, been watching since ~ 3/4 year i guess. Decided to go back and watch some old episodes... I've got to say.... DAMN BOIII you've been getting good at the whole YT thing! Cheers, love ya
Used to catch barred surf perch in southern Cal (look almost identical to these), texture and taste was a lot like a potato pancake! great video.. love the channel!
Another amazing video man. i really enjoy watching your videos. i have been watching fishermans for life / ace videos regularly and i have to say welcome to my regular watch list NWfishing secrets. 🏄🏽♂️ those crispy fish loooks yummy i should try this in my next trip. all my gear is lock and loaded. waitting for the pendamic to be over. #FishonBaby 🌈🐟
Thanks man, that means a lot to hear 👊🏻 🎣 fisherman’s life & Ace are my go-to’s as well 😂 definitely can’t wait to get in another coastal trip as well! Fish on baby!!!
Would have LOVED to have seen the other fish you guys were catching too in this video. Still, I know that perch had to have been fantastic! Reminds me a bit of Catfish almost with the texture and firmness of it.
Wish we had Retails in our area. We just have barred surf perch here in our area and the occasional striped bass. They do get in the 16” class so that’s good. Redtail just get so wide bodied!
I think you did a fine job cooking up this meal.... love the location brother... oh and at location 23:26 gotta love that break open... perfection! I deep fried a rainbow trout on one of my videos and it also turned out tasty! Nice work brotha! Keep grinding! If you ever wanna go to some high lakes out my way, hit me up... I'm totally down!
If your hush puppies were corn meal, you could of made either polenta cakes or grits. Boil the corn meal at a 4:1 ratio, till it thickens up. Tasty stuff!
Another awesome video. Keep up the work. Bummed that I can make it out this weekend to meet the man! Haha. But being a full time student, working, and being a full time dad. It’s hard to miss work. And looking for a new place to live makes it much more harder. But when we get settled down and you have another meet and greet, bet We’ll be there!
I've been out on Westport beaches and pulled crab by hand, I have also gone along the south side of the jetty, maybe 5 miles down, and caught huge redtails
I can't wait to do some jetty fishing there man! It's closed right now, but it's full of all kinds of monsters! Cool that you're out there too! Such an awesome place 🎣
Put a little finely chopped onion in your cornbread mix, then, fry your hush puppies in the fish grease, the taste you get is incredible by getting the fish flavor in your hush puppies, grew up in Tennessee and my Mom and Wife made the best ones!
I like the cast and slow retrieve method to find the surf perch. You can up the hook size to specifically target the larger fish. I also always pick up any mole crabs I come across as I do this. All my biggest fish have been on the mole crabs.
Suggestion! When filleting skin from meat, after first small cut at tail, try holding filet knife steady (forward with slight down-word angle) while grabbing skin and pulling and shaking skin back away from knife. With practice will be easier and quicker than trying to cut meat away from skin as you are now doing. This is the way the pro workers do it. Good luck!
Run youre gulp on the eye of youre hook and continue it up onto youre dropper loop. Doing this leaves les of a tail hanging off youre hook and more hook ups.
Perch species in Asia are a freshwater species. In Africa too. It normally thrives in rivers, lakes, ditches, ponds and swamps etc. In Asia it's salted air dry ..then later supply as protein during low season. Fried or cook with broth flavour.with vegetables and coconut milk or curry .. Or dried salted perch fried til crispy as a condiments with rice congee. Or fresh cook with broths or fried until crispy. Then add tomatoes onions chilli paste, coriander and bell peppers. The redsurf perch you caught have similar stripes. Amazing. The batter you have is thick enough. It's ok the batter without eggs. Just use oil better To fry. Heat the pan and the oil. Once the oil is hot, reduce the fire to medium fire so it won't burn.put the fish in batter in. Leave it frying for few mins with medium to low fire. Keep adjusting. Depends on the pan thickness.either ways still best low to medium fire. Don't keep stir. It mash the fillet.that is why spatula is best to flip it over. Remember medium fire, let batter form or solidify for two to three mins, then only flip the other side. Best wishes
I'm in southern California, and here you have to be careful of parasites when you catch Surf Perch and Jack Smelt; otherwise they are great tasting. Love em! We use Sand Crabs as bait.
RIght on! Looks like you were in Pacific Beach? I was just there a couple days ago, Killed it one morning about 2 hours before incoming tide up until high tide. maybe 20 or so fish, only kept like 3 1 lb'ers. Super fun though! Arguably the best fishing, and you can also catch silvers too right there! Saw some jumping!
I liked the part when you sat at home on your computer and said that it’s wrong and that you need eggs 😂
😂
Lol
Lol
so great!!hahaha
hahaha that was epic, love your videos man its curing my depression

Watched this video for the first time several months ago.. finally goin out to the coast tomorrow to give it a go!
While surf perch fishing, i somehow caught a nice steelhead!! It was really bazaar
No way! On the same type of tackle??
NW Fishing Secrets basically, i had the same rig except i had pink mice tails instead of sand worms
Me too haha i was younger and dumber and freaked out because I thought it was a rainbow that someone threw out lmfao

RIght on! Looks like you were in Pacific Beach? I was just there a couple days ago, Killed it one morning about 2 hours before incoming tide up until high tide. maybe 20 or so fish, only kept like 3 1 lb'ers. Super fun though! Arguably the best fishing, and you can also catch silvers too right there! Saw some jumping!
